According to LINK  "The mission statement should encompass the values of the staff, the actions that the school will take, and the areas it will address (e.g., curriculum, assessments, data) to achieve its vision."

We will use the same process as above. We will divide into pairs and come up with 3 statements about how we will accomplish our vision. Our facilitator will then synthesize those statements into a "SFD" mission statement for us to wordsmith at a later date

The team divides into pairs. Record responses, ideas, and key terms and phrase in the padlet. These should be based on our protocol work and guiding questions. It is not necessary to write complete sentences. We then reconvene. A master scribe synthesizes common themes and wordsmiths a 1-3 sentence vision draft.

● A vision statement is a collective expression of the school’s aspirations. A vision is concise and easy to recall.
● A mission statement provides an overview of the steps to achieve that future vision. A mission is lengthier and is the
"how-to" statements that help schools achieve their vision.
